Besides his recent use of chartered planes on tax payers dimes he also charted military planes to the tune of 500k. Not only that but this is the guy that made a bunch of money from alleged insider trading.

So how long does everyone think this guy has until he's out?

The prospect that the GOP pissed $30 million away just to keep a seat that would have been otherwise safe for him as an incumbent only for him to get humiliatingly canned less than a year in is pretty amazing.

*I believe* Price was a big guy against wasteful spending while he was in Congress
To OP question, I'd guess Price stays until Trump needs to fire Price to distract us all from something else that makes Trump look bad.

Well, not fast enough that's for sure. He never should have been sworn in as he's shady AF. None of this is surprising. The looting is encouraged from the top.

The fact that they'd have to confirm another one in the Senate, which is completely dysfunctional, leads me to believe that they will not move fast on getting him out unless Trump loses his shit about it.

Yup. "President Donald Trump accepted the resignation of Tom Price, the embattled health and human services secretary, Friday in the midst of a scandal over his use of private planes."
http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/29/politics/tom-price-resigns/

They can't edit and update the story fast enough to keep up. At 4:27PM Trump was going to decide tonight and hadn't yet received a letter of resignation from Price.. By 4:47 he had resigned and Trump had accepted the resignation.

And the ''you're fired'' list gets a bit longer.

The next question is what corrupt lunatic are they going to tap to replace him?


Regardless, F Tom Price.

Does he get his old seat in the Senate? Or is he just going to hide in the basement now?

Price made a rookie mistake. Trump has set things up so it’s easy for TRUMP to steal from the taxpayers, not for some two-bit cabinet secretary. You think he would ever put up with James Mattis having his kids ‘run’ a hotel he placed in a fake blind trust right next to the White House?

Looks like Price will have to go back to insider trading for his grifting. Still, it’s good to see one of the most nakedly corrupt secretaries go. Now we just need to get rid of the most nakedly racist. (Sessions)

Plus an observation I just heard on fake news MSNBC, Price failed to deliver a sale on repealing Obamacare

The guy whose sole purpose seemed to be taking away health care from poor people thought he deserved to fly around on private jets at their expense. A resignation/firing is only a fraction of what he deserves. He's a scumbag, a hypocrite, and just all-around awful human being. I've enjoyed seeing people retweet all of his old tweets from years ago where he constantly talked about how Democrats were so wasteful with their spending. And his token offering to pay back a small fraction of the tab he ran up was embarrassing and insulting.

The sad thing is if he had been able to hold on for another week, we already would have moved on to the next Trump admin scandal or embarrassment.

If so that’s pretty funny as any executive branch failings on that would come straight back to Trump’s incompetence, lack of discipline, and general indifference. I guess he’s not big on taking responsibility for his failures though.

As long as firing Price keeps the spotlight off of the Russian Collusion spotlight, I think it will happen.

Trump fires price for wasting tax payer dollars as he flies to his golf club on taxpayer dollars
